In our last podcast, we shared excerpts from a recent presentation in Pittsburgh by Yellowstone National Park’s environmental manager Jim Evanoff, detailing many of the amazing greening and sustainability initiatives being undertaken there.
This week, a study has been released showing that air quality in the park is markedly improved. Guess those initiatives are working!
Clean Air Council urges you to attend an open forum for residents to come out and discuss environmental issues in South Philadelphia.

Our Earth is dramatically changing due to the scientifically proven effects of global warming. People from all walks of life are recognizing the need to act as a pressing issue. The solutions are varied, but well within our reach, as long as we work together to solve the problem. In the wake of the overwhelming global response to the Paramount Pictures documentary on Al Gore and his efforts to combat global warming, An Inconvenient Truth, Gore formed The Climate Project. The effort begins to form a coalition of global citizens, all being trained in giving the same presentation Gore gives all over the world and in the movie. The mission of the Climate Project is to educate and challenge citizens and governments into action against the growing crisis of global warming. Gore has been revising and giving his presentation for the past 15 years, and decided that the best way to get the word out as far and wide as is needed is to train "foot soldiers" to give it too, and as frequently as possible. Each Climate Project trainee pledged to give the presentation at least 10 times in the next year. The speakers we hear in this podcast make it clear: at every scale, from the most local to the global, we can all contribute to the end of global warming. What is important is that we try.
One of PennFuture’s global warming outreach coordinators, Sharon Pillar, was among the first 800 from around the country (and beyond!) accepted to be trained by The Climate Project in Nashville, Tennessee. Participants came from all walks of life: NASA scientists, religious leaders, environmental educators, science teachers, artists, and university professors, just to name a few. During the breaks, Sharon was able to interview some of her peers about what brought them to the training, and about some of the things they are doing to fight global warming.
